Fuenlabrada, Urban municipality in southern Madrid metropolitan area, Spain
Fuenlabrada spans across a plateau at 664 meters elevation, containing residential neighborhoods, industrial zones, and educational facilities in the Community of Madrid.
The settlement emerged in 1315 from the amalgamation of smaller villages, including Loranca, Albas, and Fregacedos, near water sources that gave the city its name.
The Rey Juan Carlos University campus and numerous cultural centers contribute to the educational landscape of this fourth largest municipality in the Madrid region.
The city connects to Madrid through multiple metro stations and two Cercanías train stations, plus major highways including the M-50 and A-42.
The municipality experienced one of Spain's most substantial demographic transformations, growing from a small village to 193,586 inhabitants in just a few decades.
